About the project

We live in a time where browsing the internet has become a crucial part of modern society. People depend on it as their source for information, news, social media, online banking, online businesses, etc. every single day. It is clear that the internet is used to accomplish amazing things, however it does not come without any issues. As the number of users continues to grow maintaining speed and stability becomes a growing concern. As well, hackers will attempt to exploit vulnerabilities to gain access to private information such as bank passwords and company data. With the growth of the internet these problems are inherit. The chromium project is an open sourced project designed to tackle these issues and develop a web browser that is more secure, stable, and faster for its users.
